Gah, well I guess we get to speculate for a couple years as to whether it will be Kovalchuk, Zajac or Henrique once Sal and Elias are gone...I'm glad we'll have an experienced vet as a captain, though, nothing wrong with that.

Good for Salvador. After his concussion issues a few seasons ago, he had a nice bounce back year last season and was 1 of the 3 potential captains I would have picked (Elias or Zajac being the others).

Also, good for Sal. I was surprised when I first heard the rumour (during the whole lockout I was sure Kovy would be the C), but it's well deserved. The only thing I'm not a fan of here is that two years from now (or so) we'll be picking captain again.

Salvador is probably a transition captain for the next year or so. His career is winding down anyway...Zajac, Henrique, Larsson etc one of those will be the next captain long term.

I think he's a safe transition captain. He clearly has the respect of the locker room from the way players talk about him. Plus, Elias doesn't seem interested, and going straight from Parise to Kovalchuk may have created both extra pressure on Kovy and also may have created some animosity in the locker room.
